Englishman In New York - Live Loop Cover

New! - My Daily Guitar Warm Ups - bit.ly/guitarw...
An acoustic live loop cover of Englishman In New York by Sting and the Police.
Listen on Spotify: spoti.fi/3dOPpBK
and YES, I'm still using the VL3 for shows: amzn.to/2CQEIiC
(A couple of people asked me seeing as I had been doing a bunch of videos with just the Ditto x4 recently).
I had a nice cruisy Sunday show today, and it was a pretty windy and wet Auckland day, but I managed to set up my camera to capture a couple of tunes so I could actually share them with you :)
If you're actually reading this, and you enjoyed the video, let me know in the comments so I can make more of this type of thing (depending on the shows etc and where I can film and have time to set up etc).
This was shot from 'Moa Cove' at the Wreck Bar, which is part of the Auckland Fish Market. Love playing here, and especially when the weather is nice! haha :P
If you listen closely I think you'll be able to steal any parts of this loop version that you like - chords are Dm, Em, Am throughout (but I'm tuned to Eb in case you're wondering).
Gear Used (for Paul)
TC Helicon Voicelive 3: amzn.to/2CQEIiC
AER Compact Mobile: amzn.to/2KjN5rg
Behringer Eurolive Sub: amzn.to/2KfybSF
Mackie Desk: amzn.to/33cTWdp
Bigfoot Stomp pedal (don't think I use it in this though but it is set up on the ground haha!): www.wilddogsto...
...and lastly I'm running through the house PA system in their courtyard of JBL speakers (not sure specifically the model).

David, Im from Colombia, I was living in New York 22 years ago, thanks for this exellent cover, tou make me remember when I was walking for New York streets. God Bless you and I goin to follow you

[@davidshanhun]

hey Jorge! Thanks so much mate and glad it brought back some memories!

[@By-Fun-Jokes-Guitars]

Nice masterclass in looping. Good job.

Awe man, that was superb. Loved the guitar solo in the middle, I felt all my musical neural receptors stand up and dance. Quality!!!

[@davidshanhun]

whooop!

Classy 👌🏻 Simple 👌🏻 Musical 👌🏻 came here right after watching your Tips for Looping. Great voice also 👏🏻 regards from México 🇲🇽

was great to chat and meet you too! Cheers for coming to check out the tunes!

[@MatejTatamata]

Wow! That's just great man!

[@anchovski1788]

The amount of details and synchronization is impressive but the larger picture is you made it feel effortless and very natural. Beautiful music, thank you for sharing!

[@WithRainyEyes93]

I feel like I hear a faint harmony on the chorus. An excellent cover, man.

[@davidshanhun]

you are correct - using the VL3's harmonies as a subtle addition in the chorus. 👌

[@paulwade1763]

Great arrangement and performance mate!

[@davidshanhun]

Cheers Paul!

[@TexasJackdaw]

Excellent video! This came up randomly and I’m so glad I clicked. Definitely liked, subbed and rang the bell. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Texas, US

I've probably already commented somewhere but I'm just watching again, this is just so good 🤗

[@davidshanhun]

haha! Glad you're still digging it!

[@HarryFullerCT]

Great. More of these yes please. I love seeing how people adapt songs for looping. This one (a favorite song of mine) was done perfectly. Thanks!

[@davidshanhun]

Thanks so much Harry! :) Think I got a couple more on tape from that show so will share em soon!

[@Paintitdarkblack]

feel so comfortable every time I watch your singing, thank you.

[@davidshanhun]

Danke!

[@MarkAndrewHansenMusic]

Yes jolly good chappy. I would like to see more of these live performances. Also a slightly broader view to see your footwork on the pedal. 😎

[@davidshanhun]

Thanks! - Yeah I haven't taken my camera to many gigs because often there's not a great spot to be able to set up to capture a shot, but this worked pretty well (just had to sacrifice my feet for my face in this shot haha). Will try and get everything in at another show somewhere soon :)

[@MarkAndrewHansenMusic]

David Shanhun Yes the problem of finding a spot with audience and venue constraints - forgot about that. You need pedal-cam! 😀

[@davidshanhun]

@@MarkAndrewHansenMusic That's brilliant - "pedal cam". Never thought of that - can set up a go pro on a little stand that should do the trick! ...watch this space haha! :)

[@MacClashy]

Superb, absolutely superb............ I'm currently trying to loop and its really not that easy.... :)

[@davidshanhun]

Thanks! Yep takes a bit of practise eh! Fav tune to loop so far?

[@davidshanhun]

Thanks Vincent!

[@vincentmahe9274]

@@davidshanhun no worries. I have been wanting to get myself a decent electro-acoustic guitar and yours sound great played but also with the percussive action you apply to it. What model is it please and has it been modified for looping? I appreciate all your videos including the vocalise pedal tutorials. So thanks again. V.

[@davidshanhun]

@@vincentmahe9274 This is a Takamine ND15c. It hasn't been modified in any way. I suggest playing a bunch of different guitars to find what you like - every one is different in some way!

[@smacker360]

There are only a few truly talented loopers on KZbin and less who are known worldwide. IMO if you start writing your own music you'd climb up the list in record time. You have the skills, make the music yours.

Dave I have been a Police fan since 1981 as 12 year old boy the British trio was always two of the favorite like our CDN Rush always was closer to the heart however , and you have done another great cover man. Nice job man. True musicianship.

[@davidshanhun]

Thanks Raf! Favourite Police tune?

[@rafmis7660]

David Shanhun I heard on a Detroit radio station WCSX since I am near US, Kingsville Ontario, a FYI that Sting gets the most requested song anywhere he plays, fans most requested. But I’m sure you knew that or heard that somewhere before even tho we are on the other side of the pond and a few land marks in-between. UFI from the other side of the rock. Cheers!

@@LinkLinky Heya, don't have many tips on choosing the right guitar - the main thing is that it feels nice to you, and does what you need it to (eg pickup, no pickup etc!). I think it's a very personal thing rather than any one particular best guitar!
